Creating believable texture maps is a huge part of creating
great characters, props, and environments. BodyPaint 3D is fantastic
tool for painting textures interactively on our models, while keeping a
lot of the functionality that comes from working in a 2d image editing
application. BodyPaint 3D is widely used in the industry and knowing how
to use this powerful program will really help you work faster and
smarter. In this course we will get a good jump start on working in
BodyPaint 3D. We will go over the interface and talk about where
everything's located. We will go through the process of setting up
textures for our models, complete with multiple channels and layers.
We'll cover painting concepts and tools including working with brushes
and color. We'll also look at useful concepts like Projection Painting
and using the Raybrush Render View to get a better idea of what your
texture will look like as you paint. We'll also go over some of the ways
you can integrate BodyPaint 3D with other applications like Photoshop,
Maya, or 3DS Max. Once you are done, you will be able to jump in and
start texturing your own models in BodyPaint 3D.
